I’m in 3 markets and rent is decreasing about $100-$200/month in one of mine (Dallas).

But one choice or the other does not increase/decrease the risk of being sued.

As you mentioned, we have made the decision to decrease our number of funnels to target sellers a bit more consistently by what has been showing positives.Don: It is definitely viewed as a business before anything else.

@Fabio A Becker Loch Lommond drained during hurricane matthew which decreased that neighborhoods value, but once its fixed those ARV will go up.

On top of that, I see a recession on the horizon, if that happens look for a decrease in housing prices not an increase.  2026 is just months away.  

Also, some people if they move in without an ESA pet and get certified for their pet to be an ESA animal you might have to decrease the pet fee and credit back the security deposit for the pet (I would check with an attorney on this last one; however, this was what we had to due with an attorney direction for a tenant that did this on one unit we manage). 

Do you intend to decrease leverage in all states or just judicial ones?

Maybe you can increase the rate to decrease the points, if you feel they are high.

Will it increase the locals cost of living, will they appreciate & like you being there, does it contribute to the housing affordability issue if a home is used for this activity or should it have sat a little while longer & encounter a price decrease for a regular homebuyer to afford?

To illustrate, a property initially valued at $60 million might see its worth decrease by 30%, settling at around $45 million.
